Lies and propaganda.

Sunshine hours in Leeds are not much different to London (higher than Birmingham), and we are actually sunnier in a few months, and just as dry. More southern lies to make the north look bad.

Where did you go? Visiting a place is different to actually living there like everyone else.

You didn't call it unattractive, neither did I claim you doing so. This is getting confusing. And of course the streets are clean, we are a clean people. But you should see my building, it's hideous. Clean, but one of those ugly 60's straight-from-the-mill blocks. And totally renovated in 199? something, it just looks ugly.

Hmm, should be a similar map of Finland. Those northerners are just barbarians. Already in the Finnish National Epic Kalevala, the enemies of civilization were referred as 'Lapps'. And in those times, Northern Central Finland was considered as 'Lapland'.

Lol. Finland has roughly the same population of Wales and NI combined, 7.3 million international visitors in 2012.
